Absolutely amazing

Chris was awesome to work with! I called him Thursday and he was able to meet up Friday. The whole process was fun and super informal (untraditional but what we wanted). He even took pictures for us after! Couldn’t have picked a better officiant.

Couldn't have asked for better

I would highly recommend Chris to other couples. Very professional and had a way of making our ceremony intimate. Very likable personality and worth the time to hire. He hand wrote our ceremony and made it one of a kind. Upon completion, he gave it to us as a keepsake. We didn't get the feeling like he was rushing out and took the time for conversation afterward.
